This chain-free duplex apartment sits in the heart of Southsea, a short walk from the seafront, Gunwharf Quays and the university. The two-bedroom layout is arranged over two principal floors, with the living room, fitted kitchen and a shower room on the first floor and the main bedroom with en-suite above. At about 692 sq ft the flat is an average-sized city property with modern finishes such as wood flooring and a contemporary kitchen.
Practical positives include gas central heating, double glazing, a long lease (approx. 101 years remaining) and low council tax. The location and layout suit both buy-to-let investors targeting students and professionals and first-time buyers seeking central convenience with good broadband and mobile signal. Two shower rooms add flexibility for sharers or guests.
Material points to note: this is a leasehold property with a ground rent of £150 and an active public notice concerning a recent offer — interested buyers should observe the 21-day notice period. The building dates from c.1900–1929 and the cavity walls are shown as having no insulation (assumed), so there may be opportunities to improve thermal performance and running costs. Crime levels in the area are recorded as high, so buyers should consider security and insurance implications.
Overall, the flat offers central Southsea convenience and rental appeal with clear upfront points to consider: leasehold terms, modest ground rent, and potential thermal improvements. Viewing will suit those seeking a manageable central property for letting or a first home close to amenities and transport.
